HB 14-1125, which attempts to cure the Colorado Legislative Action Committee oversight contained originally in HB 13-1237, which had the effect of prohibiting an association from disclosing owners’ email addresses, even if the Owner opted in. As introduced into the House by Representatives Mitsch Bush, HB 14-1125 carves out an exception to the disclosure requirement for those owners that give consent to the distribution of their email address and phone number. In order to do so, the Association must obtain the prior written consent of the owner, which consent may be revoked at any time.
